On my 4 week expedition, I’ll be travelling into the Amazon River Basin, where I will experience first-hand the wide-ranging issues facing this country and its unique wildlife. To aid in the efforts to tackle these issues, my team and I will be involved in the improvement of the school kitchen in a local school in Cayambe and will also be establishing and maintaining an ethnobotanical garden and tree nursery for the community in the Amazon Rainforest.
